How the Quest for Better Pumps Came to (Almost) Nothing: Part 1

Pumps are fluid machines that move liquids over short and/or long distances. They were invented well before the industrial revolution and even Archimedes tinkered with pumps, on or about 250 B.C., somewhere near the historic city of Siracusa in Sicily. Without pumps, modern process plants would not exist. But not all pumps are well constructed, well maintained, correctly installed, or properly operated. And while some pumps have stayed on-line without interruption for six years, others continue to experience random failures several times in the course of a year. Pump improvement can be both a career enhancer and a value-adding proposition, as this two-part article will show.

The Keys to Solving Fatigue: The Silent Killer

Fatigue is a failure mode that every manufacturing plant will experience at some point and can become chronic if not solved. While understanding fatigue has advanced since its inception in the early 1800s, there are still some misunderstandings in manufacturing in solving these failures. A characteristic of fatigue failures is stress, which is typically below the yield strength of the material. This is what makes fatigue a silent killer.

From Grassroots to Company-Wide in Six Months: A Root Cause Analysis Journey

In early 2015 Root Cause Analysis was practiced in few of Weyerhaeuser's 33 Wood Products facilities, and lacked for consistent application and standards. The opportunity for change began at the annual leadership meeting after several plant managers and corporate leaders got a glimpse of the process that the Grande Prairie Mill was using and the discussion that ensued revealed an uneasiness with the current state.

Understanding Failure

We will show that in many cases, this insight can be provided by an analysis of relatively little bits of data, much of which, we are already collecting. How we invest our capital and how we make decisions needs to be driven by our understanding of this data.

Mechanical Integrity Simplified

It’s horrific to read about fires in refineries. Granted, process safety management (PSM) principles, with a greater emphasis on mechanical integrity (MI), have been embraced across the globe, greatly reducing the number of incidents. However, citations remain high, with the U.S. having the highest number of them. What’s the problem? A consistent implementation and application of MI. This article attempts to simplify the MI program, with the hope that organizations can achieve 100 percent mastery in avoiding incidents.
